THE physical cause of the death OF
Christ has been made the subject of an
interesting work by an English hysician,
the late DR.. Stroud. We now learn from
an Eoglish journal rejoicing in the
name of our Boston paper, the CHRIS
TIAN LEADER, that Sir. Rsdon Bennett
in his recently published volume on "The
Diseases of the Bible" devotes chap
ter to this subject in which he states the
opinion that the conclusions arrived at on
this subject by Dr. Stroud must be adj
mitted to be valid and incontrovertble
by all who are competent to Judge both
of the facts that he adduces and the
soundness Of the inductive reasoning by
which he arrives at his conclusion" Con-
trariwise, DR.. Chadwick, the dean of Ar
magh, holds, in The Expositor's Bible"
to the view prevalent from the earliest
time to the present day, that it was not
through force Of necet sity, but freely
aud voluntarily, that Christ died. The
speculation is a harmless one, and can
never be verified one way or the other.
The interest which orthodox theologians
have frequently displayed on the subject is
OF course largely enhanced by the Trini
tartan idea that Christ was God. 1t re-
solves itself into this: Did the Almigh-
ty God die on the cross, voluntarily ex-
piriDg OF his own will, and with no inter-
vantiOn NJ an outaida aOancv. mr. wao tho

divine being?

IT would appear from the dispatches
sent over from England in regard to the
declination of Rev. Mr.. BERRY to become
Henry Ward Beecher's successor, that
the Northampton Congregational pas
tor is expected to do some important work
for Congregationalism in hls own insular
position. He had consulted with "some
trusted leaders of English national life"
and their representations concurred in
referring to the growing need in Eng
land OF broad evangelical pulpit which
would make religion creditable and ef-

IF we are not greatly mistaken the
readers of the Christmas issue OF THE
UNIvERsALIsT will be pleased with the
fine illustrations and the variety of arti-
cles which we pres snt this week with the
compliments and Happy Christmas Of the
Publishing House and the editor. The
splendid first-page engraving, designed
by e. Whitney, is one OF the finest we
have seen in any holiday paper. Let the
critical reader study this engraving and
see what beauties it will reveal. Notice
the rich border of apple blossoms, and
the motto engraven around the anchor,
the symbol of hope. Then the angels,
how beautifully they are drawn, looking
forward to the dim outline of Calvary In
the distance. The illustration on the
sixth page is renduction from one of Miss
Irene Jerome's drawings, for which we
are indebted to the courtesy of Lee and
Sheppard, Boston, Mass. These lilies
are very tastefully drawn aud the line
from Julia Ward Howe, which we add,
makes this veritable Christmas picture.
The Outline drawing of the second Min
neapolis church adds special interest to
our page of religious news.

seconded the king and under him the
church had been "purged" OF the
non-conformist ministers. Abbot,
the next archbishop, did not in
herit that stern spirit Of orthodoxy
which distinguished his predecessor.
His moderation encouraged some Of
the Puritan preachers to establish
separate and independent congregations.
During the prosecutions that the Pur-
itans had to endure, many Of them fed
to Holland. In 1908 many OF them
with Mr.. Robinson and Mr.. Brew
ster at their head settled at Amsterdam.
After years stay in Amsterdam they
removed to Leyden. On July 2lst,
1920 ihe Puritans, or as they are called
in New England, the Pilgrim Fathers,
left Leyden for Southampton, where
they found a larger ship from London
with others of their sect waiting for
them.
On the 9Th OF August, the two ships
the Speedwell and Mayfower set sail
from Southampton. Before many days
the Speedwell, belying her name, prov
ed leaky, and both returned to Dar'
mouth for her repair. Again they
weighed anchor but again they were
obliged to return to Plymouth. AL
crowding into the Maynower to the
number OF one hundred :and one they
again set sail. One November the 10th
they entered the harbor of Cape Cod
On December 9th they set sail in search
of more favorable place for settlement
and on the Goth, determined to settlt
at Plymouth. These were the ances
tors of the Puritans of New England
whose late history is we'll known.
In work by Mr.. Brooks Adams
entitled "The Emancipation OF Massa
chusetts" and published by Houghton
Mifiin & Co., the theory is put fortl
that the Massachusetts "divines" o
former days were brood of tyrants
and that Massachusetts was not thor
oughly emancipated until the yoke Q
the peculiar Puritan religious teaching
and the practice following from thos
teachings, had been thrown off.

Railroad Legislation.

In view OF the pendancy and passage
OF the Interstate Commerce bill. The
American has suggested, on the rail-
load question, to the Legislature a do
nothing policy. Under the operations
of the Interstate Commerce measures
it is utterly impossible to foresee or
foretel the result. If it meets the ends
claimed by its advocates there may be
then cause for supplementary leglsla-
ton, which can be lntelligently done
only when the results are visible. 1t
the results are not good State legislation
upon the same line will fail from like
causes. There is no demand upon the
part Of the people for legislation upon
the part of the people for legislation
upon this subject in advance OF the OPP
eratons OF the Interstate bill.
There should not be exhibiteda a cap
tious opposition to railroads. The OPP
position should be exhibited to railroad
methods OF interference in State and
National politics. The railroads should
be dealt with as any other great interest,
fairly, justly, but at the same time,
when necessity requires, positively.
Just now, when the matter OF build
ing new railroads is being agitated, and
with such favorable prospects of accom-
plishment, we should do nothing to
dampen the ardor of those engaged and
interested, for the last, the safest reme-
dy is competition. We can afford to
await the results of the National legisla-
ton ON the question, especially in view
of the probable early construction of
competing system, throughout the
State.

A Born Detective.

A good story is told at the expense Of
a well-known private detective OF this
city. When he first started out in the
business he was very proud OF his word
and told some marvellous tales OF his
success as a Vidocq, and was constant
ly planning ways of getting the law
breakers into his grasp. One evening
his father came home rather late. and
to his surprise and amazement, found
all the doors and windows open. He
rushed inside, expecting to find the
place ransacked. Nothing, however,
had been disturbed, and he found his
son sittingin the parlor, quietly smok-
ing. Harry" gasped the old gentle
man, "do you know that all the doors
and windows are open p "0h, yes;
I opened them "But don't you
know that thieves might get in 2"
That's just what l want. l am laying
a trap for them," replied the disciple Of
Vidocq. The old gentleman fell upon
his SON Is shoulder and wept in tender
recognition Of his genius.

THE PURITANs.
Their Origin and Peculiar Style Of Hypoc'
rlcy

The name by which tae dissenters
from the church OF England were gen.
orally known in the reign OF Elizabeth
and the first two Stuarts. The term
was assumed, as the word implies,
for the superior purity Of doctrine and
discipline which the more violent
reformers claimed as their own; main
tanning that they followed the word Of
God alone, purified from all human
inventions and superstitions, of which
they believed the English church to
retain considerable share, notwith-
standing its alleged reformation. Ac-
cording to Fuller, the use OF the name
commenced about 1854. The points
against which the Puritans especially
protested were the use OF the surplice,
the sign OF the cross in Baptism, and
some other relics, as they esteemed
them OF popery. The laws OF Elizabeth,
however, required their attendance
at church under severe penalties; and
no opportunity was allowed them, even
though they held episcopacy itself in
abhorrence, OF forming separate sects
or congregations. Perhaps the first
distinct sect of dissenters were the
Brownists, who adopted very extreme
opinions on the subject Of church gov
ernment, and against whom the punish
ment of death was enacted, as denying
the queens supremacy in ecclesiastical
matters. On the accession of James
an attempt was made by the Puritanical
party within the church to obtain g
relaxation in some points Of doctrine
and discipline; but the conference al
Hampton Court, which was convened
upon that occasion, separated without
efecting more than few trihine
alterations in the services. The pena
laws continued in force, and dissenters
were not recognized as a distinct body
by the State. The Puritans of the
Mayhower, who settled Massachusetts
were composed of Puritans who haC
fled to Holland, together with others
from England who joined them a
Southampton. The Purtans OF Ire
land were in great part the followers o
Cromwell. On entering Ireland the,
gave the people their choice of goinj
to He'll or Connaught.-BRANDE'

THE PURITANs. (LINGARD)

The Puritans derived their origin
from some OF the exiled ministers, who
during the reign OF Mary, had imbibed
the opinions of Coloin, and on their
return urged the queen (Elizabeth) to
farther reformation. They approved
Of much that had been done, but they
also complained that many things had
been left untouched, to which they
could not accommodate their con-
sciences. They objected to the superb
critics of the bishops, and the jurisdic-
tion of the Episcopal courts, to the
repetition of the Lords prayer, to the
responses of the people, and to the
reading of the apocryphal LESSONS in
the liturgy; to the sign Of the cross in
the administration of baptism, and to
the ring and the words. OF the contract
in that of marriage, to the observance
OF festivals, the chant of the psalms and
the use of musical instruments in
Cathedral churches, and above all, to
the habits "the very livery OF the beast"
enjoined to be worn during the celebra-
ton OF. the service.
Elizabeth had great antipathy to the
doctrines Of the Puritans. They had
written against the government of
females; they taught that the church
ought to be independent of the State.
1t was in vain that they offered apol-
ogies for the obnoxious works; that
they took the oath of supremacy in the
sense which she had given to it in her
lnjunctions, though they were secretly
supported by the most favored and
powerful of her ministers, she retained
to the last rooted antipathy against
their doctrines, an insuperable jealousy
OF all their proceedings
The Court of High Commission,
armed with the most formidable and
inquisitorial powers, was instituted.
The first victum who felt the vengeance
Of this tribunal were the Catholics,
from the Catholics its attention was
soon directed to the Puritans. Up
wards Of hundred persons were ap-
pretended in Plumbers, Hall and
brought before it; those who refused to
acknowledge their offence we're COM
mitted, and OF the prisoners, twenty
four men and seven women did not
recover their liberty till the expiration
OF twelve months. In the meantime
the queen acted as the ally of the
Puritans in France and the Netherlands.
But, if for political objects she deemed
it advisable to countenance their at
tempts against the authority of their
sovereigns, she still retained the most
rooted antipathy to their discipline and
doctrine, and in proportion as their
brethren, the English Puritans, labored
TO establish the reform OF Geneva at
home, she employed all the power of
the crown to check their zeal, and to
